Amber Rose’s descent into right-wing madness has taken a cringey musical turn. The 40-year-old media personality and model made a cameo appearance in the music video for the track “Trump Trump Baby” by Florida rapper Forgiato Blow, 36. The song samples Queen and David Bowie’s 1981 classic “Under Pressure,” although some audiences might know that iconic bassline from Vanilla Ice’s “Ice Ice Baby.” On the track released last month, the self-proclaimed mayor of MAGAville raps about people of all races uniting to vote for former President Donald Trump for re-election, warning that Democrats like President Joe Biden will “take your…

On Thursday, the singer hopped into the comment section of Brazilian social media personality Tigo Fariah, who bears somewhat of a resemblance to Brown. But the “Heat” artist didn’t take the impersonation as a compliment and instead slammed Fariah. “It’s lame as fuck impersonating me.. you look like you missing a chromosome. BE YOU MY N***A… YOU COULD NEVER BE ME ! SO STOP IT BEFORE I SLAP DA SHIT OUT YOU,” the Grammy-winner wrote under the first image below. But while others noticed that some of Fariah’s…

The two hip-hop stars made an appearance on the latest episode of The Shop hosted by LeBron James, 39, and Maverick Carter, 44, uploaded on Thursday. At the top of the episode, 49-year-old André 3000 of OutKast wanted to check in with the Hood’s Hottest Princess, 26, to make sure it was cool to address her as “Sexyy” for short. “So that’s cool when we say ‘Sexyy?'” asked André. “Yeah, that’s cool,” Sexyy said, adding that although she doesn’t mind being called “Red,” she goes by “Sexyy.”…

Bashy is back with his new album, Being Poor Is Expensive. Only his second official album, it’s his first full-length release since 2009’s Catch Me If You Can. This 11-tracker is a deeply personal collection, telling stories from his childhood in Brent, the ups and downs of his career, and what it means to be a Black Briton.

Four years after giving us Music to Be Murdered By, Eminem is taking a quasi-investigational approach with The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce), out today. The run-up to the concept album, Em’s 12th, has incorporated everything from a fake obituary for the Slim Shady character to an album trailer filmed in the style of a true crime documentary. As the first Em album to center on his Slim alter ego in quite some time, the title’s tease of a “death” has spurred many to revisit key moments from the Oscar- and Grammy-winning artist’s back catalog. Chief among such…

Bebe Rexha isn’t fazed by what a random man had to say about her.

I take that as a compliment,” said Rexha, 34, with a smile before snapping her finger and doing a little jig in a car.
